Session, in order that the accounts of the last year might be fully laid be- . lore the. House. Mr. HUSKISSON apprehended, that if the Hon. -Baronet thought the, accounts for the last year could ,be made up in a very short time, he would find-him self much inistaken.—lt was not taking & nil view of the subjea to say, Shew ire' what this or that, expedition: cost, as the same , provision must have been made for the pay, Bce. of the officers and - men, if nota man had been sent out of England. It was impossible to make up the accounts down to a very remit period. Mr. PARNELL said, that as by far the greater part of the items were furnished by this couetty, he could see no objeaiett to producing the accounts, and adding to them those from the colonies.i,vhen they arrived. • Mr. cALCE AFT observed, that one .part.of the • Hon.

Though there were 105,000 effedive•inen, -yet. they were not disposable:. Out of the Muller 'returned, 118 or, 90;000, wanting accouireinents;. &c. were not- immediately ready. for service. . The CHANCELLOR of the Excitehau remarked, that many of them Avavin just returned froth 'other Expeditions, though properly, returned effeetive, it could not be imagined were Itnineclia!ely dis posable. . . . • • ' Sir G. WARRENDER made same •obieivations on the reply, with which he was not satisfies. The House then divided, when there appeared—, for the motion 35 ; - against it 76. . The Corn .Distillery Prohibition Bill was then read a third time, and passed. ,A new writ Was ordered for Cambridge, in the room of Mr. Charles Yorke, virho had accepted the Tellership of his'Majesty:s Exchequer. Lord FOLKSTONE inquired why the holders - of Exchequer Bills, at an interest of 3 # per cent. per day, had had new Exchequer Mills given for.them at an ieterest.of three and a half. Mr. WirAaToie replied, but in so low a tone that we -could' not coiled what he said. - Mr. MARTIN gave notice, that after the termina-.• tion of the pending Inquiry, he would move for , leave to bring in a .

On the - Order-Of the Day being read for the se cond reading of Lord, Wellington's Annuity Bill, Mr. WityrattiAD wished to know, if after the Pe titicio that day presented by the Sheriffs of the,City of Loudon, the Chancellor of- the Exchequer would still press the grant to Lord.Wellingthn : . The 'question on the second reading was about to be pus, when Mr. WHITBREAD rose again. The Petition, he saA, was of such a nature, that he . cOuld not help . • • ••.;- T it/ lington's simple statement of hiS.affairs, Which had been read by.an *Hon'. Gentleman opposite, though it did not appear that • the Noble Lord's circum- Stances were splendidly affluent, yet.it did not ap- • pear that be was absolutely in want of. wherewithal to support. his peerage. He thought the' bringing of it forward was ill-timed, at a junatore when they were called upon to vote a million for the pay of Portuguese troop's; and when, notwithstanding the display of valour on the part of Lord Wellington, which they were thus called ,on to - reward, Spain had been overrun, and her every hope of independ ence-annihilate:J. He concluded, strongly protest- . ing against thegrant. Sir J. NawliottT thought there was no additional objection. When the merits of-the - case were last agitated, the fate of a much regretted friend - of his was involved 'in uncertainty. That uncertainty had since resolved itself into a melancholy 'certainty, and he thought that in consequence of that' circum stance,_it would have been -well to have rewarded' the serviced of, Lord Wellington with the sinecure thus .left vacant (the 'rellership 'of the. Exchequer). That,however, instead of being given to one who had fought for his country ahroad,• had been be stowed on a Person who had distinguished. himself by lighting the : battles of Ministers at: home. He thought the petition from the city of London entitled to 'great'. attention: - •Thongh - he did , justice to the prowess of Lord Wellington, yet he was. of Opinion that while no such acknowledgment had been made of the services of General Moore, it did not b.!come, Ministers to prnpose such a grant-to the Noble Lord wbo had fought the battle ofTalavera. Mr. HuTeniNsots. spoke in high terms of the . coildua of Lord Wellington. Whatever his send» merits might be of the policy cpf the - campaign in Spain ands • Portugal, he thought. Lord Nrellitig:on had deieryed well'of his country. :- , •. Mr. ivL N censured Alini i sters for 'hurthentrik the country unnecessarily: .'ne.thought they (ni ° ght Eave regitited• Lord Wellington's 'services with the Tellership of• the Exeherine.r, instead of bestowing it on, a person whose , services they had yet to learn. sie W. CURTIS, while he spoke in the highest strain of panegyric of the City - of London, felt it to be his duty to vote - for the gran A. division then . took place, *lieil the nurnber3 Were- • „ For the 2d Reading . Againbl it ..:- - Naj9i-ity in favour of the 2d Reading IA 36 --70 COMMII"I'EL OF SUPPLY.—AaMY ESTIMATES. Lord PALiTERSTON . E (on strangers being re-ad mitted into the Gallery) was addressing the Chair— man upon the-proposal .for voting theiEStimates for the service of the Army. The Noble Lord, it - ; a-Very comprehensive and' eloquent speech, 0 4 Qt.:.P0ed i to lay before the Committee the general principle4Upon which they were called upon to accede to the Esti: mates which he was about to propose. These Esti mates had bean framed in strict conformity with those economical principles whiCh at all times , go verned the condu& of his Majesty's present Govern . - rnent. On a minute comparison with- the Esti mates of the former .years, Gentlemen would find that there Would be no increase in the expellees• further than what the exigences of the service re quirt, nor indeed had any reduction been Made in the force other than compatible with the.defenceof ', the country. ',The Eslimates were divided under tsientyaone heads, which the wduld shortlystate..-- In the 'first head stood the Land Forces. - It would be seen that the greatest attention had been paid to the rule which provided, that the.estlishtnent of the. Army should .consist principally of effeCtive. 'men: For instance, when the number of effective men in any regiinent fell • short of '4OO, care had been taken that its effective - strength should consist of that number, and so on progressively. He had al ready 'stated, that in framing these estimates fato-; nonly had been the governing rule, and, upon that principle, at the recommendation of the Commis sioners of Mi.itary Inquiry, the allowances for the suPply of forage,, and bread .and beer would come under the Cammissariat Department, and conse quently not form any part of the preSent Estimates, ' Under ans. head a considerable saving would take : place, as also in the reduction of the Agency for Ca- Valry Regiments, which, from themeasurei which bad been adopted, would make a diminution of one fourth in point of numbers in that btaptl, of the sera vice. Another reduction was the dismounting ef t wen ty men per troop in each regiment 3' last year it had been proposed to dismount ten; but upon. consider anon it. bad been deemed advisable to make a further redudion, and to dismount ten more.--- The average number of Cavalry Regiments were ten troops of eighty ) Making in the v. hole 800. The :eying in these - respects would be little short of 100,0001. Having 'stated the principal Arrange, ments in point Pi saving,. he ,would now proceed to '. the increase and decrease of theland forces. Under the head-of Household Troops -there would be found a decrease'in the number of men of 7000, and con sequently a decrease in the cli trge of maintenance of 41,2491. In the Dragoon Guards a decreasesat , 486 meri, and of 26;2301. in the charge. Another point of saving in the expenditure was the cliscon-a • tinuance of Quarter . Masterson the several troops, and the appointment of Tieop.'Serjeants to fill their. stations, by which a swing of between 7 and 80 - 001. .consequence would accrue, and the troops in be , better disciplined. With aesped to the introduc tion of Second Battalions in regiments of this'species - Of force, the numbers would be increased 2b66, and the increase of expence would be about 70,0001. Their effedive strength would be manifest, and. their capabilities liar every purpose of recruiting.— The next head would relate to the unnumbered corps; a reduction lad taken . p-lace of 500 men, thereby decreasing the charge 49,7211. 'There had also been a redeartion in the Gas rison Battalions of two battalion, at a saving of 39,8171. The Royal Waggon Train, Which consisted of 12 troops, were nowteduced to 7 ; it had been considered diet the numbers were greater 'than necessary for the bene fit of the service,. and file troops had been discos- tinned. With a just attention, therefore, to the interests.of the service, and. to public economy, a saving in that respect would- be made of 23,4331. — Another point was the recursion of the Barrack 'Artificers -at Gibraltar. Oriainally it - had bean thought proper to employ.certain- corals these to do the necessary repairs, and to allow these men to re ceive pay, and of - course be'siibject to military dis ciplijoe. - Since thee, the repairs having been corn int,t...-1 digit ,prvirt.s were no lonver n Arr,cary_ and they were reduced.; In •ad!-litiou to :this reduction: was'that of the v 1 mx Fenciblea, which consisted of ten' companies ; ,theae had been reduced to four, the total - number of men. now .being - only 347. Ibe saving to the country in Barrack Artificers was . 13,3641.; ' in: the . Manx Fencibles 44731.. ":. Tlie Noble Lord proceeded to _state the increase in .the establishment,' which in .the'a-rieat three- heads, would, in-pointof charges ; be 27-,7571. in which Would be included a sum t) . 1 : about 2t ,0001. for tal •ditional Field Officera. Although this' charge ap: . peered on the face• of the _estimates for . the first: time, it was not a new one, bet had been originally defrayed by Parliament, alai included in the aggre gate vote. In ~ the' miscellaneous services, which would next come under attention,' a tareeincrease i of expence (t 13,9211.) woteld be apparent ; this 1 arose principally- from a very large sum being re- - ' (aired to make up .the losses incurred. in Spain on service, and in other quarters,' particularly it, South America. It was proposed also,' for the comfort of to introduce for tire first time into the es timates., . an' allowance to the regiments at home,. similar to that- enjoyed in the navy, viz. an allow • ance on account of wine. This was proposed in consideration of the high duties which attach, and • it was daeriatal but fair to extend the benefit to Mi litary Officers as wellas 'Naval. , The sum required he supposed . Might- be about 10 or 12,0001. but that ' would be the subject of future conaideratiota— The Noble Lord stated, tflat, though the in- . . crease - under this head of Land Forces would ,be' : 127 men, • there' would be a decrease of 9a,4771. in the charge. , The next . head to which it was necessary to call the attention of the Com mittee, was the regiments in the East Indies, which for the first time would be taken, under the : cogni- • zance of 'Parliament, although the. expences of that Establishment were ,defrayed by the. East India Company, the expencea of the recruiting were. however charged to the country. The next heed was the Embodied Militia, if, Which there bad been all increase of 2017 men, and a diminution orexpence . • of 337,6581. This large decreasein tha a pharge arose from making a larger redudion of the non-effediye tnera•and from transferring the forage and bread al loianaes, as he had already stated,' to the. Commi ssariat departinent. Lillie Staff and Garrison. Esta blishments, .an increase'of expellee 'would arise ef. 21,2471. on account of the Medical Staff principally, and from the scale of allowances to be wade in. fu ture for the Chaplains of the Army. The outline of i the arrangements, with respect, to theChaplairis, he trusted would be approyed. It had been judged ! proper to make these ifeverend Gentleincla a float ' ing and disposable i)64y, and to . provide that for the. future 'any person to beappomted.Chaplain in the Artily, should bring proper teltitnonials of his, elle faeter and abilities, to he approved 'of by the Arch bishops of Canterbury' and York and the Bishop of London ; that' when: they had been eight years in the ser. ix, they should be entitled to half-pay; at ' the rate of as. per diem; that au addition of 6d. per , diem, per annum, should be ,made, until they al-, . I ivect at I Os. there to stop: This, he trusted, would make these respeetable persons stye comfortable.-- The next head of material alteration was.. the Public .1 Departments, .iii salsich an. increase pf 21,e:371.114d taket, puce in 111't charges; on accennl of the vast other Offices conue&cd or dependant on it.; increase of business in the War Office, and There had been, however, a slight decrease in, t he -Office of the Commander in CliieT, consequenc! of the Military Secretary Colonel Torrents no t hold ing the situation which his predecessor:. C o lon o el .• Gordon did. In the Pay Office, an increase t e 1,2ti91; hag arisen. on account of the payment °` Exchequer fees.- In the War Office the increase Was 88651. Gentlemen would bear it in the ir recut leetions, had that nth Report of -the mm" of of Military Inquiry stated, that the I,lor c • raice could-not . get through their business , un count of, the vast increase trorn the prottaded stow of the war. An arrangement was made aceordl i n g i ft.' (which arrangement had been maturely coltsin exe by the predecessor in office of the Noble Lord)ci. tending to accelerate the passing ofeaccounts) on this was by dividing the business of ciatirining 0°.•• counts from the other public business; ites ' sr. office was built, and three intelligent alien, quainted With the War Office •business, were $ 4 , 4 • leted to superintend the 13w establishment, ~:blear consisted of an augmented number of clerk s, be! at. • twenty-four. There was great reason to hope t"-- the greatest benefit'would be derived, in r espeat t° the ,army bpsiness, from this new establishrnelit ; the office of Examiner of Army Accounts had h eel abolished,' and a saving of 001.; and the Gentle mien ivho held that situation now receiv es on'Y 'ado). Mr. Moore; the Secretary,' retired on a°' lacy, which, including the 8001. he receives frorta the poreign Office, makes his income 18601. annum. Mr. Merry, in consequence of the recoil" mendation .9f the . Cornmissioners' of Inquiry,_ quished the situation_ which lie held Of Porveyor (gals to the Garrisou.ot Gibraltar, which ,rod uce , hith 01 . a-year- In the Quatter-Master-Gertera''s- - Office there was a small increase of s7l. ,for 0305'• plans,. &c.'necessary for the service of tbd artuY•7"' o.' The next head of increased ,expentee . w hich tb- Noble Lord. noticed was' the Medical A rm y Den r merit. A Board of General Offi cer s had sat for the Purpose of devising some plan for making the IN Ie " dical;.Board more beneficial . in future , and 4'09 suggested • that the Depa ent should be tinder 1 1 . - i e-• d controul of a Direor-Gelieral,-'ard PrinCiP W ' •• /nspedors. . These Gentlemen were required. give up their private prat - lice, and as a rertlukte r : ation for the sacrifice, an increase of salary be given ; it had also: been reeonaniencled to L it continue the Office of Inspeaor of Hospitals 4 C home, as being' quite unnecessary. The Hospitals 4C head was • that of the Half-nay arid - Niilit ar t Allowances. In that respeta a decrease of 5337'; would take place in the• expence of Chelsea One. 1.v0u19 Kilmainham Hospitals ; there was a decrease 91 81,5921. Under the head juit. stated from tbis.'C al,se. A sum of iOO,OOOl. had been t.aleen and approp riated to this service' from the onciaimed prize-moneY; which Gentlemen 'would recoiled by the Prize Government are , authorised to appropriate, a su he n l of more than 2.00,0001. had been paid o ve r by t Agents to the fueds at Chelsea, but pf [tits rani 14,0001. had been claimed arid paid, leaving a gut .
